Just in from our open bbq / fire pit where i have been roasting some sweet potatos ( patata halwa ) for the past hour or so. Nice, hot embers, from a fire started early this morning, have created the perfect roast for our potatos. Charred, smokey, and roasted to perfection - just in time for this afternoon's feast: roasted Chesapeake Bay Rock fish, butternut squash, brussel sprouts, roasted corn and open pit fire roasted potatos. A bit of fresh from the oven pumpkin cake too. Happy Thanksgiving all.

I've now gone back into our woods, re-checked the fire, wonderful smoky essence is in the air. Pine, oak, and sugar maple logs have melded into a glow, whispy smoky clouds of smoke still rising. My jumper, hat, gloves make me smell like a long lost Norse woodsman. I've rustled up a few old, partially decayed log or two of pine trees that are weathering, decaying and slowly providing nutrients to mother earth. They are now on the glowing, deep ashen embers. In a few hours, and surely by the early morning light, all will be cold ash. From the mighty Oak log, to the smallest Maple twig - ashes for the Earth. The cycle continues, laughter, tears, joy, love, peace, death, life, growth. Ashes to ashes - dust to dust. Another fire tomorrow?

Slowly getting dark here in Maryland.....the fire's embers glow. The Sun's cool rays are almost horizontal. Darkness is near. Ashes are warm.....but soon cool, then cold. I'm sure the Whitetail deer, possums, 'coons, and other night creatures that prowl our back woods will stand afar - a bit too many foreign scents for comfort.

Oh, well, never mind.
"No. The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness and love. Whether it's a world or a relationship, everything has its time. And everything ends."
Sarah Jane Smith.

There is much truth in these words.
Today it is pain and loss: My old cat is dying.
He has decided not to be euthanized.
He has decided to die in peace and the silence at home, his home.
He has decided to go his last way independent but together with me.
He is very calm and waiting that his life will come to the end, lying in a warm room with dimmed light and in silence.

I wish you my beloved old Mohrchen, that you will soon find your way above the rainbow bridge.....

Yes it is the circle of life:

For those forward in the sun's rhythmic cycle, it's surely very dark; here, on the edges of the Atlantic, the sun's rays have set. Our back garden fire flickers on, providing light to the moths, and other cool weather critters. Those west of here have some time left until the end of day.

Light flickers on. Life flickers on. Catch it.
